petition
By RALPH MELNYCHUK
Concern over the Murray-Wil-
liamson tenure dispute has resulted
in a petition being Ratios among '
faculty members
The petition expresses concern
about the general course of events
so far, an uests a one-year ex-
tension of contract for the two men.
Prof. R. D. Mathews, one of the
professors who initiated the peti-
tion, says upeponse so far has been

All fa members may sign the
petition if they wish. However,
since it will be circulating until
Friday, I cannot release any figures,
said Prof. Mathews.

mediately initiated an aces. but
were informed in a letter dated
Jan. 27 that this appeal was un-

a one-year extension of: contract
on the shortness of notice given to

Interparty committee censures
use of forbidden rally kickline
By ANDY RODGER
The leader of the campus Liberal party has been excluded
from participating in U of A’s Model Parliament.
Gib Clark, law 3, defied an inter-party committee ruling
forbidding the use of kicklines in campaigns, by using one in
the all-party political rally Tuesday.
The ruling was made at a meet-
ing of the “inter-party committee
Monday, reinforcing a campaign
rule that has apparently been ac-
cepted for the last four years. The
Liberal party was not represented
when the committee “hid lon the

we are all so guilty
Patrick Kenniff, the Canadian
Union of Students national president
and spokesman for 150,000 Cana-
dian post-secondary students, paid
a brief, but memecrable visit to the
University of Alberta on Tuesday.
His visit was brief because he was
on a low-budget national speaking
tour, and memorable because he was
asked to address what was unques-
tionably the most disgraceful Stu-
dents’ Council meeting of the year.
Apparently our Students’ Coun-
cil is unaware of the fact that Mr.
Kenniff is the counrty’s most im-
portant student leader, because
when he delivered an encouraging
progress report on the New Student
Movement born last fall at the na-
tional CUS Congress in Lennoxville,
~ Quebec, councillors rolled over and
played dead.
Our most august governmental
body paid more attention to a tele-
vision camera filming its so-called
meeting than it did to Mr. Kenniff's
stirring words. . When it came time
for the question period after the na-
tional president’s address, Students’
Union President Richard Price was
forced to pry one or two timid ques-
tions from his activist associates.
There was no vestige Tuesday of
the vigorous, animated discussion
which had. taken place Monday in
Calgary, when Mr. Kenniff address-
ed a lively UAC council meeting.
There was no sign of last fall’s
version of our Students’ Council,
which used to spend countless hours
debating the CUS education policy,
student representation on the boar
of governors and plans for the new
Students’ Union Building.
There was no sign. of local CUS
chairman Bruce Olsen either.
Perhaps councillors are no longer
interested in fighting long, uphill
battles to which they pledged them-
selves earlier in the year. Mr. Ken-
niff mentioned his organization’s
education policy as just one of these,
but no one present at the meeting
bothered to stimulate discussion by
asking questions about such compli-
cated subjects.
The student movement which Mr.
Kenniff purports to lead will never
change until student politicians
change their ways. For the things
which student politicians so readily
grasp in the fall soon become the
things which they discard as soon as
their terms expire and _ elections
again draw nigh.
We are all so guilty.

‘Unfortunately, the ‘present level
of intramural programs and inter-

A list of the university’s ‘’firsts’’
in physical education and athletics
is astounding. For instance, our
Faculty of Physical Education was
the first such faculty established in
the British Commonwealth. It is
considered to be the best graduate
school in the country, and enjoys an
international reputation. It is the
first to incorporate its complete phy-
sical facilities under one roof. In-
cidentally, these facilities, already
comparable to any available.in Can-
ada, are soon to be enlarged.
On the competition level, this uni-
versity has produced champions and
all-stars too numerous to mention on
the national, conference, and indi-
vidas levels. abhi is an indication
of the quality of both the ebaEGIG
(much of which is done by dedicated
volunteers) and the administration.
This year, the university will be

ships in wrestling, track and field,

the elimination matches for the

itself.. The Golden Bears and the

A perfect specimen of the leftnik
syndrome if ! ever saw one (the
wierdie-beardie editor of this paper
(The Ubyssey) prefers to call them
“the New £10):
Wild-eyed, Gotta at the mouth,
and—yup—completely devoid of
reason.
Anyway, at the risk of being de-
clared an Old Fogey at my tender age,

from my latest Hate Manual, entitled
How to be a Leftnik in the Right

Capitalist in bed nae
Leftniks eat Phe called beatnik:
but that term is now tainted with age,
and scorn. It has gone the way of
the Dodo and The Big Bopper. It is
still proper, however, to refer to them
as peaceniks, vietniks, picketniks,
ban-the-bombers, and NDPs (all are
synonymous).
Recently, in a subtle move to gain
respectibility, these leftniks have in-
filtrated the ranks of the legitimate,
and now call themselves students,
student activists, humanitarians, and
peace corpses. Watch out for these
last kind. They are deadly.

You know what beatniks look like.

got to be Joe College. Ties and

habitat
Since the New Leftnik’s supreme
aim is to be accepted, he has infiltrat-
ed most of the nice, innocuous
‘such as education, peace
poverty, and helping underdeveloped
nations. Just about beats Mother-
hood. They get pictures on the soc-
iety page, and good marks on soci-
_ ology essays, because Leftniks under-
stand people so well.
They form their own groups (SUPA),
and infiltrate the established do-
nothing associations (such as CUS and
CUP). They become editors of stu-
dent newspapers—a great spot from
which to mould the anrgy image.
Most of all, they gravitate to the
universities, because that is the place
where you can do the least work at
the least possible cost, with the great-
est publicity (all university causes are
good), and the least worry. This is
why so acy professors are leftniks—
they’ve never been able to shake the
soft life. You know the old truism:
Them as can, do; others teach, Great
appeal.
behavior
Leftniks, of course, pursue as ideal-
istically and as differently as possible,
their particular cause. Peace is a
good one, but it’s sort of stale. No
One cares about napalm anymore.
But action’s the thing—action and
change at any cost. The newspapers
love it.

The leftnik thrives best under con-

woth in Canada and the United
States, commissions on biculturalism,
civil rights movements, and assorted
wars on poverty are moving to co-opt
the largest social groupings since the
New Deal carried off organized labor

This year, in Canada, the estab-

The most dramatic example, of
course, has been the creation of the
Company of Young Canadians, with
its projected million dollar budget
and 250 field workers this summer.
But quite unnoticed has been the
continuing development of quasi-
public bodies that now surround par-
liament in an ever-widening chain of
patronage.
Along with the familiar Centen-
nial Commission and the Company
of Young Canadians is the Citizen-
ship Branch of the Department of
Citizenship and Immigration that
plans to move into the youth field
on a major scale.
With the exception of the
Company, these agencies de-

ing its youth travel and exchange
program.
The conference voted to set up a
committee to meet publicly with the
commission to discuss grievances
within the voluntary sector. It was
hoped that such a body would make
the commission accountable to the
public in the allotment of its grants.
The real decisions affecting youth
are made by the lower echelons of
such agencies. But personnel at
such levels are civil servants who
cannot comment publicly on what
they: are doing. In theory, the
opposition parties could raise such
questions in the House; but they are
busy hunting bigger game and only
in spectacular cases do these
chicken-feed sums get aired in
public.
One such case was a bid by the
Student Union for Peace Action last
summer for.a Centennial grant to
bring together mmer project
workers from across Canada for a
week long consultation.
The grant was refused, in the
opinion of a majority of youth re-
presentatives at the November con-
ference, for political reasons that
had nothing to do with the com-
mission’s publicly stated criteria.
And yet to find some official to
comment on why SUPA did not get
voluntarism threatened with
its money is virtually an impossible
k
ask.
Whether SUPA should have got a
grant is not the issue, of course.
The problem is that the youth com-
munity, increasingly dependent on
government funds, has no check on
the agencies that dispense the dole.
It should be remembered
also, that as an organization
comes to lean on government
money it may be increasingly
difficult for it to dare to chal-
lenge traditional social views.
The SUPA case has shown that
a public body, meeting behind
closed doors, can avoid answer-
ing public questions, if it so
chooses.
As many youth organizations now
see it, (there is a danger that
voluntarism, with its potential for

Soniticantly the Canadian As-
sembly of Youth Organizations, an
umbrella forum that brings together
most major youth groups in English
anada, is planning a conference
in March on the subject “The |Im-
plications of Increasing Government
Involvement in the Voluntary Field.’’
It is felt that unless public ac-
countability can be guaranteed, the
mainstream will be hooked increas-
ingly to the Ottawa boondoggle.
The radicals, on the fringe, will still
wave placard of course, but for the
most part youth will come the
junior rung on the great society

irresponsibility
To The Editor:
Until today (Tues., Feb. 8), | had
a great deal of respect for all uni-
versity students. These people,
have always told myself, are the
ones who will soon be leaders in and
of our communities and from their
ranks will come the leaders of our
governments.
However, this morning | was con-
vinced that some of these people
are nothing more than a gang o
irresponsible three year old kids and
should be treated as such. That is,
they should be put over someone's
knee and have the daylights wallop-
ed out of them. 1! am referring to
last night’s incident in which
individual or individuals opened the
gates to the boarding of the new
Students’ Union building, started a
Michigan Front End Loader (which
was left for the night due to a
broken fan belt), and went for a
joy ride. Besides the extra work and
inconvenience caused by their pranks
they also ran the risk of damaging
this machine by seizing the motor.
These people are probably the
ones who beef about the high con-
struction costs. One of the things
they fail to realize. is that every
time an act of vandalism occurs, the
general contractor’s and all the sub-
contractor’s property damage and
public liability rises. They don’t
realize it, but they are the ones in
the long run who bear this un-
necessary expense.
The second letdown ! had this
morning occured when | walked past
the engineering building and saw
such things as “Engineers are Slobs’’,
Plumbers go Home”’, and “The Nut
House”’ written on this building, with
spray paint. All | can say is that
this is a hell of a display for the
upcoming Varsity Guest Weekend
and | hope the other students have
something much more constructive
to show the general public.
Rather than deface and de-
stroy public property and drag
the image of their fellow stu-
dents into the mud, | suggest
that the people responsible for
such vandalism seek out Ed

‘improve the gateway
To The Editor:
Over the past couple of years, a
move in The Gateway from _ in-
dividuality and spontaneity towards
a sometimes uneven “‘professional’’
polish and machined perfection has
been noticeable. As one who re-
: snenpbers the. columns of Chris es fees

Rupp, Whyte, Adam Campbell,
and even the sentimental Richard
McDowell, | miss the tone of
humanity and forthrightness that the
old paper once had. hese column-
ists were ingloriously wrong as often
as they were devastatingly right in
their opinions but one always felt,
upon reading their work, that one
had experienced genuine contact
with a human being. Above all
they had, thank God, a sense of
humour.
Think of Chris Evans’ column of
1961 that advocated a line-painting
contest on the No. 2 highway, and
think of the present series of articles
on life insurance, for God sake, and
you will see what I’m driving at.
Must The Gateway. address its read-
ers as though they were gall-bladdery
old men looking forward to their
pension and a life of puttering
around in the greenhouse while the
hemlock of senility creeps over
them?
An undergraduate paper poses a
rare opportunity to present a genuine
alternative to, rather than a re-
flection of, the often stuffy pro-
fessionalism of the average Cana-
dian daily. Why blow this chance
for a few awards offered by pro-
fessional newsmen on the basis of
professional criteria, which are very
different, in my view, from what
your criteria should be?
Spontaneity, recklessness, and
humour ma subversive in this
province, but they have never been
punishable by law. How ‘many of
your staffers have had any fun in
the last few weeks?
Why not loosen up and give a bit
more encouragement to, for example,
your whimsical Ferrier, your Rabel-
aisian Campbell?
The administration is ‘serious and
responsible’; th lent govern-
ment is ditto (although: responsible
to whom or what, sometimes
wonder). As a consequence, many
students—perhaps most think of
“hs? bodies as ‘‘them’’ rather than
former student union
tecident Wesley Cragg, noted this
widening gulf two years ago and the
gulf doesn’t seem to have narrow-
ed.
1 don’t blame anybody for this;
perhaps it can‘t be helped. But that
is not reason for you to drift away
with them. As a paper full of en-
joyable,. rather than strictly serious
and informative, reading, The Gate-
way could be the greatest cohesive
influence on this campus.

AFTERMATH OF FRATERNITY DRINKING PARTY

Two die in hich speed accident;
frat drinking habits curtailed
By LORRAINE ALLISON
High speed and liquor were
blamed for ae ee of two UBC
students Jan. 2!
The auto ce followed -a
four-hour afternoon drinking party
at the Kappa Sigma fraternity
house.
As a result of the accident,
changes in the UBC Inter-Frater-
nity Council are being proposed.
“The changes include the ban-
ning of all afternoon parties unless
sanctioned by .the IFC,” said IFC
president Michael Huges.
“In future no liquor license will
be issued ee the police without an

Sigma’s activities, and the peaulea
will be sent to the RCMP.
At U of A, the fraternities must
get permission from Major Hooper
a liquor at an on-campus i
Then they go to the city police, or
the RCMP, if the party is out of
town, to get a license.
The social convenor of the party
must also sign a statement declar-
ing the number of minors who will
be present. And it is, of course,

With the lifting of the govern-
ment ban on Indian organization in
1963, groups such as the National
Indian Council and other groups
have formed and in the not too
distant future this may serve as a
unified front.
Indian education also shared the
limelight during Canadian Native
Week. Allan Jacobs told students
that Indian students were at a dis-
tinct disadvantage in the present
educational system.
This system requires Indian stu-
dents to unlearn their own culture
and then internalize an alien cul-
ture,
Also the use of European sym-
bols, poor teachers, poor teaching
techniques, and the falseness of
present history textbooks, which
portray the Indian as a pagan
savage, contribute to feelings of
